if I have a construct with 4 formative dimensions, and I find the HTMT for 2 of these dimensions is higher than .0.85, do I need to consider these 2 formative dimensions, and what is the best way to solve this issue? I will be very grateful for your prompt response

[@OMC1095]

Sir can you explain what bias head means in tables of smart pls

[@researchwithfawad]

In which part of the output.

[@lina.r11]

Dear Mr Fawad, thank you for your insight. Would you please share the reference for the ideal SD of larger than 0.25? Thank you, we appreciate your valuable thought and wisdom

[@researchwithfawad]

Please refer to Collier, J. (2020). Applied structural equation modeling using AMOS: Basic to advanced techniques. Routledge.

​@@researchwithfawadthank you

[@mahumshabbir1696]

I am unable to reduce the discriminant validity using this standard deviation formula and cross-loadings. My sample size is higher than 1000. Can you suggest some other solutions?

[@researchwithfawad]

You may also perform groupwise analysis and see which group has a serious issue of discriminant validity. You may remove that group.

[@dahatijjani]

So far this is the best method!

[@researchwithfawad]

Glad you think so!

[@李年林-e2g]

what if we have tried these steps but still got problematic HTMT?

[@researchwithfawad]

Need to collect more data.

[@李年林-e2g]

Thanks.very instructive video

[@MoinUddinJilan]

Sir I have a question How can I solve discriminant validity issue in Amos Where, AVE

[@researchwithfawad]

You need to use the same method. However, if still unresolved. You will need to collect more data.

[@Alhamzah_F_Abbas]

you saved me, thank you so much

[@researchwithfawad]

Thanks. I am glad you liked it

[@bhootfm7912]

Sir, i've used Smart PLS for data analysis, but my AVE and HTMT results are not satisfactory. How can i correct this,. If you provide more details...plz

[@researchwithfawad]

Please watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2fXhp99nq1sla8

[@lhs9298]

Hi Sir, why I have followed exactly the same in the video but the value still remains unchanged?

[@researchwithfawad]

Thanks for watching. Yes this can happen. You may need to collect more data.

[@truchuynh7062]

thank you Sir, you saved me!

[@researchwithfawad]

Glad I could help!

[@talhamansoor7108]

that's great... much needed thankyou Sir

[@researchwithfawad]

Thanks. I am glad you liked it

[@artinarh]

Sir what if the difference between the crossloading is less the 1.0? What should I do?

[@researchwithfawad]

You will need to improve the model. see the items that are causing problems and you may remove them if they do not significantly impact how you have conceptualized the constructs.

[@fatihah_pg]

Thank you sir fawad for the video. how do i find the confidence intervals bias corrected in smartpls 4?

[@researchwithfawad]

Thanks for watching. Please see the Path Coefficients, under it you will see the CI-BC

[@bhootfm7912]

How to get the standard result when answering questions in a respondent response to the questionnai? Sir reply plz

[@researchwithfawad]

Standard results? Which software are you referring to and what technique.

[@ridhyasain5757]

Thank you sir god bless u

Thanks. I am glad you found it helpful.

[@sudheeshs621]

Can we use this method to solve reliability issues by using function (STDEV.P) in excel

[@researchwithfawad]

Yes, this will help in improving the quality criteria.

[@lifespotpourri4616]

@@researchwithfawad Hello, do you have literatures we could use that support this?

[@brightscholars]

Why you don't run Consistent PLS Algorithm & Bootstrapping while your models are reflective in most of your videos. is there any strong evidence to use PLS Algorithm & Bootstrapping with reflective models??

[@researchwithfawad]

Thanks for the query. PLSc is recommended when one would like to model the results in line with CBSEM.

[@brightscholars]

@@researchwithfawad Thank you for a quick response. Could you please recommend some literature on this?

[@researchwithfawad]

Please see the book by Ramayah et al on PLS-SEM using SmartPLS-3 Plus recent book on PLS-SEM using R package (SEMinR). Similar approach is used.

[@brightscholars]

Hello Sit I am facing issue with bootstrapping p value kindly assist

[@researchwithfawad]

What is the issue, please

[@Love_Quaker_]

@@researchwithfawad Sir I am practicing on Smartpls with free version with 100 responses. I need to resolve discrimination validity problem. How can I communicate with you? I need to submit my paper as soon as possible and my data results are not as per my need

[@Love_Quaker_]

Since last 6 months I am following your channel n learned alot from you

[@researchwithfawad]

100 is too low as a sample. These issues are because of low sample size. You might want to increase the sample size.

[@Love_Quaker_]

@@researchwithfawad ok Sir will collect more data

[@leechintay2807]

Dear Mr. Fawad, I have use your method to solve your discriminant validity issue but it cannot solve. Please advice.

[@researchwithfawad]

It is not always that these ways will solve the issues. The data has to be good enough so the methods work. What is your sample size?

[@leechintay2807]

107@@researchwithfawad

[@researchwithfawad]

Sample size is quite low. You should increase the Sample size to at least over 250.

[@humairaahasan]

Assalamualaikum dr. Is there a citation regarding standard deviation less 0.25 should be deleted? Thank you in advance dr.

[@researchwithfawad]

WAS. Please refer to Structural Equation Modelling using AMOS by Joel E Collier (2020)

[@humairaahasan]

@@researchwithfawad Thank you for the fast response, Dr. I really appreciate the help and the knowledge sharing you're doing.
